1) What is this person’s role in the book, movie or TV program (media)?: In The Hunger Games movie, the main female character is Katniss Everdeen. Her role in the movie is that she volunteers for her younger sister, Prim, for the annual Hunger Games that occur between the districts. All of the districts (which are just like different states within a country) randomly pick one boy and one girl to go to The Hunger Games where they fight to the death and there can only be one winner. It was unknown for people to volunteer for someone because in Everdeen’s district they were extremely poor and did not have the resources to win The Hunger Games so it was like an automatic death wish. Katniss showed her bravery and love for her sister to the point that she would put her life on the line to keep Prim safe. Not only did Katniss spark a revolution and want for change in Panem, she ended up winning The Hunger Games with her partner by her side, Peeta. They both won the games because when they were the only two tributes left, Katniss and Peeta both knew they could not kill each …show more content…
Interestingly enough, usually in movies or books the male is seen as dominant and the girl is head over heals for him and she is the one looking for the relationship to blossom. In The Hunger Games it is almost the opposite. Peeta had always loved Katniss and shows interest in her but Katniss does not feel the same until time goes on. He is more dependent on her than she is on him. Peeta does assist and support Katniss throughout everything they endure in the movie but she almost pushes him away and acts as if she does not need him or his help. Peeta is almost like Katniss’ sidekick throughout the story and he is the one who needs her.
Katniss volunteering for the hunger games to take her sister prim's place because prim is just a child in katniss’s eyes. The hunger game arena could Be identified with a maze. Peeta the other tribute for District 12 had fallen in love with Katniss before the reaping. Because of her uniqueness the crowd
The movie The Hunger Games, originally based on a book by Suzanne Collins, is about a place called Panem, which is ruled by the Capitol and has 12 districts within it. These 12 districts are separated founded on their economic statuses, meaning the higher the district, the more impoverished the residents are. There are 2 tributes that are chosen to participate, forcibly, in The Hunger Games each year. Each competitor is instructed to eliminate one another in order to survive and come out on top. There is only one tribute allowed to come out of the arena alive. Katniss lives in District 12, which is the most impoverished district of them all, and she volunteers as tribute in “the Reaping” when her sister is chosen to participate. She and the other tribute from her district, Peeta, make it into the arena with the hopes that one of them comes out the winner and above all else, alive (Ross, 2012). I will refrain from going any further just in case you have not read the book or have not seen the movie. In terms of soci...
Katniss volunteered because her sister’s name was randomly chosen on the day of the reaping, the day each year when one known as a tribute is chosen for the Hunger Games. Prim was the minimum age of 12 when she was picked. The author, Suzanna Collins, states “… in District 12 … the word tribute is pretty much synonymous in the word corpse” (Collins 22). Katniss wanted to spare her sister’s life. “Prim … is the only person in the world I’m certain I love” (Collins 10). In the end Katniss not only survives the Hunger Games, but helps her teammate, Peeta Mellark, survive as well. Katniss was motivated to survive because she wanted to get home. “The train begins moving and we’re plunged into night until we clear the tunnel and I take my first free breath since the reaping … I begin to think of home. Of Prim and my mother … I begin transforming back into myself. Katniss Everdeen” (Collins

The Hunger Games are one of the most emotional, viscous and cruel books I’ve read before. But both heroes Katniss and Peeta have survived to live the next day. They are both winners and Katniss lives to feed her family once more. It was a fantastic book of amazing features, characters, themes and creativity.
Katniss Everdeen from The Hunger Games was a hunter who became part of a game where one girl and one boy from each district would fight till the death were there would be only one person standing for a punishment of the uprising. Another man Rainsford, a famous hunter from The Most Dangerous Game came to an island after falling of his ship. Later to be hunted by a man who had became bored with hunting just any ordinary animal. In these cases Katniss and Rainsford both have experienced the hunter becoming the hunted. Where humans become prey and where there is only one winner, throughout each story Katniss and Rainsford have shown many similar traits as a true survivor such as their intelligence, independence, and their will to survive.
When the games begin Katniss leads Peeta and is one of the biggest factors in his survival. The two tributes from district 12 eventually find themselves as the last two contestants. Katniss cannot find it in herself to kill Peeta, she decides to commit suicide by eating poisonous berries. However, Peeta refuses to let Katniss take this step, he decides to join Katniss and send a message to the Capitol by accepting death with open arms. Ultimately, neither of them get the opportunity to swallow the berries as the head game maker stops the games in panic. In the aftermath, Katniss and Peeta are looked up to and seen as examples of true love in the eyes of the public in the Capitol, and as icons for hope in the eyes of the people who fall victim to the
In our Society when you don't follow the rules, you become an outcast to the rest of the society. Suzanne Collins’ novel series, The Hunger Games criticizes our society and its demands for people of specific genders to act in certain ways and become certain things. Stereotypes concerning gender are prevalent in our society and all over the world. However, The Hunger Games gives a very refreshing tone of “mockery” to these stereotypes. Katniss Everdeen isn’t your typical 16 year old girl, and neither is Peeta Mellark a typical 16 year old boy, especially when they are fighting everyday just to survive. The Hunger Games is a work of social commentary, used to convince us that there can’t and shouldn’t be any defined “roles” based on gender. A mixture of “stereo-typical” gender roles within a person and their actions is what people need just to survive in our world that is changing every day.
In the novel The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen did many courageous things to help Peeta and try and keep both of them alive as long as possible. By doing so Peeta and her won the Hunger Games. She saved Prim from going into the Games and saved Peeta from dying during
The Hunger Games was a good movie when it came out. This movie refers to a dystopia world in which there are 12 districts and a capitol who rules with an iron fist, in which the districts must provide a tribute to fight in an annual Hunger Game as a punishment for a past rebellion. Katniss Everdeen is a hunter from the 12th district, which Gale, her friend gives her tips on hunting. One day her sister, Primrose Everdeen, is chosen for the Hunger Games, and in order to save her, she volunteers instead to serve in the Games along with Peeta Mellark. During a TV interview, Peeta confesses her love for Katniss Everdeen, which causes the enragement of the latter; however, she later forgives him as he explains to her that it was only to gain sponsors. During the Hunger Games, she did not receive a lot of supplies except some medicine to cure a wound, but Districts 1 and 2 almost won the Game due to their training, and amount of supplies which Katniss destroys but cannot recover any of them. The Hunger Games was one of the best movies I ever watched because it has a little bit of everything and it captures the real-life survival game that we live on a daily basis.
Katniss also viewed him as a traitor at the beginning of this scene. Due to the fact that he had a spear in his hand as a weapon, Katniss “wait[ed] for the blow” which was never received (Collins 193). Just the fact that she would expect Peeta, a boy that claims to be madly in love with her, to kill her in that situation shows how little faith she put in his actual loyalty. However, Peeta blatantly proved her wrong when he risked his life to save hers. In maintaining this last part of his personality, Peeta displays that he is still adhering to the person he was before he underwent the hardships of the Hunger
In the novel The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins a new country is created. Panem is born in place of North America, were the Hunger Games began. In the Hunger Games, there are 24 tributes. Tributes are people who live in the districts. The tributes in the Hunger Games are all the same. They kill one another and become the Capitols puppets. The tributes become violent, emotionless puppets. Then there is Katniss. Katniss is an excellent hunter and becomes lethal during the games. However, she has not lost her compassion. Katniss does not think of herself as a good person. When in reality she is a good person with a large heart, who puts others before herself.
Everything Peeta did was for Katniss. According to Kendra Cherry, “people who rush in to help others in the face of danger and adversity do so because they genuinely care about the safety and well-being of other people” (2). Peeta could always see the bigger picture. Peeta knew that Katniss could make a different and could bring the Capitol down. He was willing to do anything it took for Katniss, including die for her. He never compromised who he was in the games. Heroes are people who act with dignity under pressure.
Katniss and her fellow member of District 12, Peeta, make it to the final two tributes remaining. They are encouraged to kill each other, but refuse to do so out of love. Katniss and Peeta agreed to commit suicide together to disobey the rules of the Capitol. This is the nadir, or low point, of Katniss Everdeen. She has been left no option but to kill herself along with her partner. This is where her powerful resurrection takes place. Just before ending their lives, they are stopped by one of the creators of the Hunger Games arena. It is then announced that under the circumstances, they would allow both Peeta and Katniss to be victors of the Hunger Games. This gives a very large sense of relief, and both Peeta and Katniss emerge
effected. Katniss provides protection for her younger sister, Primrose Everdeen, and her mother, again carrying out the role of the father, or the alpha of the house. She satisfies this role to the degree of volunteering to compete in the annual hunger games in the place of her sister, who was initially chosen. Katniss felt it was her responsibility to protect her sister, as she was the main provider and protector of her family and the household. After volunteering to take Prim 's place, Katniss is taken away where she is isolated in a room and given only 3 minutes to speak with her family and close friend and huntind partner, Gale. When she is talking to her mother about caring for Primrose, she speaks with a firm voice, and very emphatically. The language and tone of her voice changes depending on the person who she is talking to. For example,
